This is my second favorite Journe (behind the tourby). I had a chance to grab one and passed. That decision still haunts me! The retrograde date just arrests my attention! I also love the different iterations (MOP, ruthenium, black). [nt]

It is really nice and very distinct without shouting.

FP Journe masters this balance in so many of his pieces, which I think is rare.

Until the Optimum this was a watch I thought I would like next.

For the reasons we chatted about before, empty space on the dial, this always had the balance that the others may lack. (All subjective of course as I know that empty space is a very important positive feature for many of us, including you).

This one, I think, will be considered one of the great classics, down the line.

The perhaps the best most harmonious utilizing of the “empty” space, in that it fills it in a very pleasant way. This one is very easy to fall in love with. And the retrograde hand is just a really nice feature in a watch. What I like about the RDM is how... 

I think your post says it all

It is rarely the first pick - that would probably be the Tourbillon, the Resonance or the Optimum for most - but it makes anice second, as it compliments the first choice so well. Agree that this works in several iterations.

Yes. I Think so :-) [nt]
